	Goal	Key
	Lanka is home to extravagant and ancient Buddhist temples and wealthy trading ports. Let us begin a campaign to conquer it.
	The Basque people of Lapurdi have suffered under English and French tyranny for too long. They must be liberated and placed under the rightful rule of Navarra.
	Leinster lies in the shadow of the English crown, its Earls struggling to maintain their independence. We will only be able to resist the English if we unify them.
	Our adversaries in the Mamluk Sultanate stand in our way to controlling the Holy Cities and the income from the spice trade, something we have always aspired to. We must advance into Syria and towards Egypt in order to get closer to these strategic goals.
	Historically, the Bishopric of Liège has been a strong voice in the Vatican, and in the Holy Roman Empire. By extension, if we were to control this voice, we could better represent our interests.
	The Lithuanians have been a thorn in our side for centuries, and our defeat against them at the Battle of Wiłkomierz in 1435 cost us numerous lives, including that of the Grand Master. Now is the time to conquer them once and for all and end the threat from the South!
	The Lithuanians have been our enemy ever since our foundation. Although they are no longer worshipping the Romuva faith, they are still a threat to our existence and must be handled as such.
	The Livonian Order has warred against Lithuania since its foundation, even after we converted to Catholicism. We must crush them once and for all.
	Livonia and its key port city of Riga are vital to control the Baltic trade. We need these lands for our security.
	The North is ours, and the English capital lies open to us. There is no better time than now to end English hegemony.
	The Bengal trade routes reach their eastern terminus at the Irrawaddy Delta, the ancestral lands of the Mon people. If we captured the great cities of Pegu and Dagon, we would be ideally situated to control all trade that passes through Burma.
	Great empires begin with daring feats of martial ambition. The Mon kingdom can command an impressive army, yet it is weakened by frequent raids by foreign powers. If we attack at an opportune moment, we could annex Lower Burma and begin our conquest of all Burma.
	Lower Saxony would be a natural route for our expansion. While campaigning in this region we must also make sure to defeat our rivals in Luneburg and Magdeburg, as well as securing the port of Emden.
	The port city of Aden and the surrounding area is vitally important to our Yemeni heritage. The trade which flows through the Gulf of Aden can be strategically controlled from here - reclaim this land in our name.
	With Maynilla under our rule, the way is open for the our conquest of Luzon.
	Luzon is the name of the northern part of our archipelago. We must secure our power upon its nations before entering uncolonized land.
	The name of 'Maghreb' comes from the Arabic and literally means the west. Traditionally the name for much of North and Northwestern Africa, the land is firmly within the grasp of local Sultanates conducting piracy on the christian shipping. Let us bring them into the Caliphal fold and move onwards to Al-Andalus.
	Delhi rule once swept over the entire Deccan. It will do so again, beginning with the Marathas.
	Malacca is of great economic importance. We should take control of it immediately, to allow for superior influence over our trade interests in Indonesia.
	Malacca is an important town in the East Indies, one which we must not tolerate falling into the hands of our competitors. It must be taken!

	The Malwa plateau lies between southern India and the open plains of the Ganges and Yamuna. The fertile plateau itself, with its moist and black soil is ideal for agriculture as well as for cash crops like Cotton and Opium.\nWe must send our armies to subdue these plains and the hilly tracts that surround them, adding a valuable territory to our empire and advancing on our old overlords in the north.
	Though in some ways a diversion from our relentless push west, Malwa occupies a strategic position that we should not ignore. In our hands, it would be a bulwark against any empire that might rise from the Deccan, a protective shield against invaders from the south.
	The Sultans of Malwa have in the past been a constant thorn in our side, always ready to strike against our interests when we are weak and suspiciously closely allied to the Rajput kingdoms.\nIt is clear we cannot allow anyone to hold this strategically important, and very rich, plateau.
	There was a time when the Malwa plateau was the center of a mighty Rajput kingdom, and the base from which the Imperial city of Kannauj was conquered. Even today Rajputs make up a sizable portion of the population in the region and many of these kinsmen would likely join our cause.\nLet us invade the Malwa plateau and show the world that it is our house that is the true master of Malwa.
	With the fall of the fortresses in western Rajputana the rich Malwa plateau now lies open before us. The conquest of this region would both enlarge the Imperial treasury and open for future campaigns against Gujarat and the Deccan states.\nIt is our fortune that the Malwa Sultans have been weak and allowed local interest groups too much free rein. This has left the area divided and easy to integrate for a more efficient state such as ours.
	The volcanic plateau upon which Malwa sits, is luscious, dense and green. There is no better farmland in all of India.

	The ancient cities of Mesopotamia are an important stop of the spice trade routes from Asia. Controlling them and the revenue from them is a very tempting objective.
	In the wake of the Muslim conquest of India and the fall of the great Rajput empires of the past, Mewar has often been a focal point for Rajput resistance.\nLet us incorporate Mewar, and its rich silver mines, and crush the hope of any such resistance going forward.\nThe ancient city of Ajmer especially must be put under our direct rule, as a means to control the surrounding Rajputana princes for all future.
	To ensure our position in Northern Italy is protected we must expand our holdings to include Milan.
	To ensure our position in Northern Italy is protected we must expand our holdings to include Milan.
	With the help of our subjects from Sulu, we will launch an invasion of Mindanao.
	Mindanao is the name of the southern part of our archipelago. We must secure our power upon its nations before entering uncolonized land.
	Famous for its coffee beans, the city of Mocha has an even more important role to play in our empire. Located at the entrance to the Red Sea, it can serve us as a duty port and a naval base, as well as a stepping stone for expansion into the Indian Ocean.
	The people of Mogadishu have always been a nuisance for our trade ambitions. We must make them disappear once and for all by conquering them.
	The city of Mombasa is a major East African trading hub and would make a valuable addition to any maritime empire. Some of the Swahili merchants in Mombasa have recently made contact with us asking for our protection. It is our duty to oblige.
	The Muscovite domination of the Rus must end. Our Principality will never be safe while they are allowed to scheme from their Kremlin.
	The clans of Munster fight among themselves over petty grudges and regional power. They must put old conflicts behind them and bow to us.
	The dry lands of Nagaur and Jangladesh are not a common route to the rich cities of the Doab, yet it may may offer an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Indo-Gangetic Plain if we conquer the local chiefs.
	As we expand we must ensure that we can truly integrate the new lands we conquer into our administrative apparatus. After conquest comes the hard work of establishing true our Rule over the conquered territories.
	The realm of Great Moravia, the predecessor to Bohemia, once extended far beyond the lands of the Czechs. We should seek to expand our borders once again, beginning with the annexation of the old Principality of Nitra.
	Many years ago, Cotentin and the beautiful church-fortress of Mont Saint Michel were part of Breton lands. However, the Dukes of Normandy seized them from us, and they and the Kings of England have held it ever since. Now, with English power on the continent waning, perhaps we might find ourselves in a position to reverse these losses and claim Normandy for ourselves.
	Although the great Alexander Nevsky protected Rus from the Teutonic and Swedish pillagers, the Mantle of the Protection of Rus has passed to Muscovy. We must conquer Novgorod and make the Princes of Novgorod see the truth by force of arms.
	Besides Moscow, Novgorod is the greatest city of the Rus. A hub for trade and commerce, it would be a fine addition to our realm.
	Although the great Alexander Nevsky protected Rus from the Teutonic and Swedish pillagers, the Mantle of the Protection of Rus has passed to Muscovy. We must conquer Novgorod and make the Princes of Novgorod see the truth by force of arms.
	The Ryukyu Islands rightly belong to Japan, and must be subjugated!
	The servitors of Jagannath elude our rule, believing that the jungles of Garjat will protect them from invasion. Show them that they have no protection against our onslaught!
	We should continue to pursue economic dominance in India by extending our control over the coast to Orissa.
	The great King Valdemar II led the Danish armies to great victories in Estonia against the Pagans, however, since the St George's Night uprising these lands became part of the Livonian order. We must follow in his footsteps and take the islands of Osel to serve as a base.
